Foul up the air so badly with vehicle exhaust and other combustion byproducts to the point where non-motorized mobility is dangerous to your health! Game, set and match to the fossil fuel industry. Later you can drive around in your hybrid with your oxygen tank. Electro-stimulation of your disused muscles will eliminate the need for exercise. The minimal current required can easily come from solar panels on the roof of the car and at home in your sealed apartment with closed-circuit ventilation.cafiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749761363337659545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-66899089087123972572012-09-03T18:46:50.836-05:002012-09-03T18:46:50.836-05:00I haven&#39;t had any permanent damage (yet) but I...I haven&#39;t had any permanent damage (yet) but I get a little hoarse on Orange and Red days when I ride my bike to get somewhere. Usually if I know it&#39;s Red I ride very easy, nothing that would raise my respiration to much, just a little below &quot;Fat Burning&quot; pace. for JRA: here in TX we don&#39;t get many PM days, ours tend to be Ozone exclusively.opusthepoethttp://opusthepoet.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-78836443863346899882012-09-03T11:46:31.641-05:002012-09-03T11:46:31.641-05:00I&#39;ll check the airnow.gov site and avoid ridin...I&#39;ll check the airnow.gov site and avoid riding when it&#39;s red. Particularly (ha ha) PM2.5 days, since no one needs those fines nestled deep in the lungs. As for impacts to sensitive groups, see <a href="http://www.fresnostate.edu/chhs/cvhpi/documents/snapshot.pdf" rel="nofollow">The Impacts of Short-Term Changes in Air Quality on Emergency Room and Hospital Use in California&#39;s San Joaquin Valley</a> from the Central Valley Health Policy Institute at Fresno State, quote &quot;Our findings show that asthma ER admissions are strongly linked to increasing PM2.5 across the region, with a higher risk in children. Risk for asthma hospitalizations also increased dramatically with PM2.5 in children and adults across the region. Moderate risk for acute Myocardial Infarction hospital admissions were also linked to PM2.5 levels regionally, as were pneumonia ER visits in children and acute bronchitis ER visits in adults&quot;John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.com
